      Several studies have shown that behavioral and electrophysiological correlates of processing visual images containing low or high spatial frequency (LSF or HSF) information undergo development after early childhood. However, the maturation of spatial frequency sensitivity in school-age has been investigated using abstract stimuli only. The aim of the current study was to assess how LSF and HSF ...
    • Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation above the Medial Prefrontal Cortex Facilitates Decision-Making following Periods of Low Outcome Controllability

      Recent studies suggest that choice behavior in reinforcement learning tasks is shaped by the level of outcome controllability. In particular, Pavlovian bias (PB) seems to be enhanced under low levels of control, manifesting in approach tendencies toward rewards and response inhibition when facing potential losses. The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) has been implicated both in evaluating outcome ...
    • Transcranial direct-current stimulation enhances Pavlovian tendencies during intermittent loss of control 

      Sedlinská, Terezie; Bolte, Lara; Melsæter, Eirik; Mittner, Matthias Bodo; Csifcsak, Gabor (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-09)
      Introduction: Pavlovian bias is an innate motivational tendency to approach rewards and remain passive in the face of punishment. The relative reliance on Pavlovian valuation has been found to increase when the perceived control over environmental reinforcers is compromised, leading to behavior resembling learned helplessness (LH).<p> <p>Methods: Sixty healthy young adults underwent a Go-NoGo ...
    • Two-year changes in sleep duration are associated with changes in psychological distress in adolescent girls and boys: the fit futures study

      <p><i>Objective -</i> Studies indicate an inverse association between sleep duration and psychological distress. We aimed to explore associations between changes in sleep duration and changes in psychological distress in girls and boys. <p><i>Methods -</i> The Fit Futures Study is a broad adolescent study providing data from 373 girls and 294 boys aged 15–18 years collected in 2010/2011 (FF1) and ...
